Which build do I need?

Platform	Artifact	Notes
Linux	iris-install.sh (one command)	Installs Docker, auto-detects an NVIDIA GPU, loads the image, starts the stack.
Windows 10/11	iris-setup-*.exe	Bootstraps WSL2 + Docker + NVIDIA, then the stack. Mandatory EULA acceptance at install.
macOS 12+	iris-install.sh (one command)	Needs Docker Desktop. CPU-only (evaluation).
Offline / air-gap	iris-offline-update-*.tar	Image tar + signed manifest + checksums for a disconnected site.
Source / eval	clone the repo	CPU fallback for evaluation; see Install & run.

Disk footprint & requirements

Iris downloads a self-contained application image plus the AI models. The full footprint is fixed regardless of which features you enable — turning a subsystem off (face, audio, …) saves GPU/CPU at runtime, not disk, because the models still ship.

Item	Size	Notes
Application image (loaded into Docker)	~7.5 GB	one image, all subsystems
AI models (downloaded on first run)	~0.9 GB	detector, appearance, face, age/gender, vehicle, audio
Image download (temporary)	~3 GB	freed after it is loaded
WSL2 + Docker engine (Windows only)	~2 GB	set up automatically
Recordings / data	grows	bounded by your retention policy

Plan for ≈15 GB free on Windows (≈12 GB on Linux/macOS) to install and start, plus room for recordings. 64-bit only; an NVIDIA GPU is used automatically when present (Linux/Windows) — macOS is CPU-only (evaluation).

Install (quick paths)

Linux (one command)macOSManual (Docker Compose)Windows 11Appliance

curl -fsSL https://iris.monmyip.io/downloads/iris-install.sh | sudo bash
# with a licence key:
curl -fsSL https://iris.monmyip.io/downloads/iris-install.sh | sudo IRIS_TOKEN=xxxx bash

Installs Docker (if missing), auto-detects an NVIDIA GPU, loads the image, downloads the models, starts the stack and opens http://127.0.0.1:8120. Leave IRIS_TOKEN unset for the 7-day trial.

Install and start Docker Desktop, then:

curl -fsSL https://iris.monmyip.io/downloads/iris-install.sh | bash

macOS runs CPU-only (evaluation) — no NVIDIA GPU.

git clone https://github.com/yakden/iris-vms.git && cd iris-vms
sudo ./install.sh          # downloads + loads the image, writes .env, starts the stack
# already have the image loaded? just:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8120/health

1. Download iris-setup-1.60.0.exe (SHA-256).
2. Run it (admin). Accept the licence agreement when prompted — the free trial is 7 days, full-feature, online-only.
3. It sets up WSL2 + Docker + NVIDIA and opens http://127.0.0.1:8120.

A local build is unsigned (Authenticode signing happens in CI) — SmartScreen may warn.

Licence & trial

Installing Iris means accepting the EULA. The optional free trial is a 7-day, online-only, one-per-machine evaluation with the full feature set — see the trial terms in EULA §1a and Deployment config.
